Canon 814XL-S - Manual (Page 138)

2. Prepare the camera for filming and set it for 18
fps. Transport the film for approximately five
seconds to allow room for cutting the film
during development and for editing.
3. Prepare the tape recorder by setting the R-
recording volume to the maximum level and
the L-signal volume to the level you want.
4. After transporting the tape for several sec­
onds to take up the tape leader, press the
camera's shutter release lever to start filming.
A synchronized pulse signal will be recorded
on the R-side of the tape while the sound
through the microphone will be recorded on
the left side. The camera sends a pulse signal
for each frame. Depending on the type of ac­
cessory sync-controller used, this may be con­
verted to a signal for every four frames.
5. When the film end warning indication in the
viewfinder starts to blink, stop filming and
stop the recorder. (The camera has no control
over starting and stopping the recorder.) Then
cap the lens and finish running the film to the
end.
If you continue to shoot until the film reaches
a complete end, extra synchronization signals
will be recorded which will make editing more
difficult.
